      Fabulous!!
      What can I say about Holbeck Ghyll...totally fabulous. Having stayed here in January my now husband and I decided to get married at this idyllic venue. Apart from actually deciding to tie the knot, it was the best decision we have ever made! From start to finish our experience was outstanding. The service by all departments was truly amazing, from housekeeping to reception and from the bar staff to management. Karen, the events organiser at the hotel had amazing attention to detail and made the whole planning experience a delight. On the big day all the staff attended to our every need and nothing was too much trouble. The food was top class... Beating (to us) the likes of Gordon Ramsay and other Michelin starred restaurants.... Not an easy feat when catering for 50+ all at once. All our guests had an amazing time and commented on the standard of food, the staff and the rooms. We would highly recommend Holbeck Ghyll for a couple retreat or for a larger function.... You won't be disappointed. We would like to thank Andrew and Karen for all their hard work in making our experience to magical and to all the other staff for all their hard work.

      A perfect wedding in a perfect venue
      Holbeck Ghyll is a wonderful place to get married. The preparations were effortless thanks to the help of Karen. On our arrival at the hotel all the staff went out of their way to help. A particular mention to Philip and Chris who were exceptional on the day. On the morning of the wedding, the flowers were delivered to the room so I could check they were ok, then they waited as I filled out cards and happily delivered the button holes and corsages to the guest rooms. There were offers of escorting the bride, organising canapés, music during the ceremony and the cake. This hotel stands out as it has impeccable service, combined with fantastic food, a lovely suite, beautiful scenery, and a sunny weather on the 1/11/11 all made for the most memorable and wonderful wedding. Thank you all. We have no hesitation in recommending this hotel for an intimate wedding, its perfect.

      If there were ten stars we would give them
      A perfect wedding, from beginning to end. The planning with Karen was so easy, everything went exactly to plan. Nothing was too much trouble. The staff are attentive charming and human! Our guests who stayed for two nights as well all had a marvellous time and could not speak too highly of everything. Food amazing.

      Outstanding team and service
      We just wanted to say thank you all the staff at Holbeck Ghyll for what was for us a truly wonderful stay and wedding day. Our expectations for our actual wedding day were surpassed. The food was magnificent, the staff wonderful and even the sun shone! As soon as we visited the hotel we knew it was the one! Karen, the Wedding Co-ordinator guided us through every stage of the planning and the team on the day (especially Philip) were outstanding. In short, the food was sublime, the service exceptional, and the location perfect. You won’t get a better setting anywhere! We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending, Holbeck Ghyll to others. What sets it apart is the attention to detail, the ability of the team to accommodate your wishes and be flexible, to create your dream day. Nothing is too much trouble. We will definitely be staying again and look forward to returning. Thank you again, for making the most special day of our lives, unforgettable!
